The Girl Child, New York's newest lawyer, and I today on whether she was going to take a nap:
GC: Pappa, are you going to take a nap today?Me: No, but you are.
GC: Why aren't you going to take a nap?
Me: Well, I just got back from the dentist and now I have to run some errands.
GC: If you're not taking a nap, then I'm not taking a nap.
Me: Oh, yes, you are.
GC: No. I do everything you do.
Me: No, you don't. First of all, I pee standing up. You don't pee standing up.
[long pause]
GC: What's second of all?
I was so proud of her just ignoring a point she couldn't refute and trying to move right along to the next point that I just took her with me on my errands. So, in the end, I guess she was right. No nap.
